It’s hard to believe, but for the past few years Nike has not offered a traditional motion control shoe. At least they made it worth the wait. The Equalon immediately puts Nike back among the top players in this category. Pronation control is provided by a generous use of heel materials that graduate smoothly from absorbing to restricting, a rigid midfoot shank, and even a slightly supportive sockliner. Attention is paid to cushioning, as well. The Equalon puts more material between the foot and the road than any other shoe we’ve tested, including front and rear airbags. The result is an extremely insulated ride.
